Title: Dead End

Series: #3 Kaely Quinn Profiler

Author: Nancy Mehl

Publisher: Bethany House Publishers

Released: March 2020

Genre: Christian Romantic Suspense

When a body is discovered in a field in Iowa, the police uncover fourteen additional corpses ranging from 20 years old to recent. The remains point to a serial killer with an MO the authorities have seen before–Ed Oliphant, a man who has been in prison for over 20 years . . . and is Special Agent Kaely Quinn’s father. After several failed interview attempts to discover if Ed has been training someone to be a copycat killer, the police turn to Kaely in St. Louis.

Kaely promised herself she would never step foot in her hometown or set eyes on her father again. She’s always refused to confront her past, but if she wants to prevent any more deaths, she must come face-to-face with the man she’s hated for years.
As more bodies are discovered, Kaely races against time and her own personal turmoil to uncover the killer. Will this most personal case yet cost Kaely her identity and perhaps even her life?

My Review

If you like intense romantic suspense, with the emphasis on suspense, this Kaely Quinn,

Profiler series by Nancy Mehl may be the one for you. I just finished the third and final

book, Dead End. Personally, Mehl has taken me to the end of my ability to endure with

her Kaely character. Kaely is very focused on her work and will let nothing get in the

way of her catching the worst criminals. Even if her methods are unorthodox.

Unfortunately, her pride threatens her relationships with God and her special coworker,

Noah.

Noah and Kaely travel to Iowa to interview Kaely’s father, an infamous serial killer, in

hopes of stopping a new serial killer. While Kaely may be the only hope to get the

Raggedy Man to talk, will she self-destruct before the mission is accomplished?

Noah grows by leaps and bounds in this novel, but I almost want to tell Noah he’s headed

down a dead-end path.

Never did I see the ending coming.

I appreciated that Mehl shows

equal parts evil and good in this fictional crime-chiller story. Mehl shows that man’s

depravity comes from the pit itself. Only God can combat that kind of horrendous

opposition, and we must be fully equipped. As such, there is a lot of Scripture included in

this book.

Who will Kaely rely on- herself, her unusual friend, God, and or Noah?

Noah knows God doesn’t always rescue His people. Grab this book and grab your closest

huggable as you read super-speed to discover whether Kaely can survive.

(My closest huggable, Samson.)

I was given a complimentary copy of this book from the author and publisher through

NetGalley, plus I bought a copy. This in no way influenced my opinions, which are solely

my own.

MY REVIEW

Life is cold in this chiller/thriller by Nancy Mehl. Fire Storm, #2 Kaely Quinn Profiler Series, takes place mostly in a town called Darkwater. It is winter, and as cold as winter can get. Relationships are cold, too. Omaha doesn’t want Noah and Kaely’s help.

Kaely herself is having trouble dealing with the chilly relationships between herself and her brother and her cancer-stricken mother.
Conversely, it’s hot in town. Multiple fires lead Kaely and Noah to believe that arson is the cause of Darkwater’s destruction. Jason gets hot under the collar when Kaely puts her job before her family. Kaely feels the heat as the fires increase without a viable suspect. I raced to read this exciting, terrifying novel as quickly as I could.

Only the need to function kept me from pulling an all-nighter to discover who really was behind the evil visiting the town. Mehl manages to tie up loose ends realistically and bring things to a satisfying conclusion…until she masterfully inserts a dangling issue that may create a cliffhanger for books to come. Faith, fear, trust, unbelievable tension, and the mind of a madman combine to make this a thriller you won’t want to put down.
I received a copy of this book from the publisher through NetGalley. This in no way affected my opinions, which are solely my own.
